putin stared president obama in the eye and mr. obama blinked and it has historic and grave consequences, i believe, for the free world and especially for america and future generations and i am just very concerned as we go forward now that this president is going to somehow say, well, iran probably can have a peaceful nuclear program. well, let me just say to you, by the way, that iran has so much natural gas that it would be scales of 10 tcheeper -- cheaper for them just to produce their electricity with natural gas than to build a nuclear power plant to produce electricity. so that's a completely ridiculous notion. here's what i'm afraid of. i'm afraid that this president is going to either naively or somehow in the hope that he in his broad mindedness will convince jihad to change their mind, which they've had for hundreds of years, to change theirs and it's just not going to happen that way. i fear that he is going to allow iran to go forward with a so-called peaceful nuclear program that will allow them in a very short period

well, president obama had quite the full plate today. he tried to save the planet, lift up the impoverished continent of africa, avoid a trade war with china and, of course, bring peace to the middle east. the president's day began with 100 other heads of state for an unprecedented meeting on combating climate change. >> the security and stability of each nation and all peoples -- our prosperity, our health and our safety are in jeopardy. >> reporter: there was lofty language, but it remains unclear what actions will be taken by the two nations that emit the most greenhouse gases, the u.s. and china. the democrats' climate change legislation is stacked up in the senate behind health care reform. and wheel chinese president hu jintao said his country announced china would cut carbon dioxide emissions by a "notable margin" by 2020, he was vague on the details. none of which bodes well for the global climate change agreement set for december. >> i'm here to say that difficulty is no excuse for complacency. unease is no excuse for inaction.
